As one who was majorly kvetching last week, I think tonight's issue may be the start of the reversing of the nosedive. In words of one syllable or less: Ho. Ly. Cow.

Her labelmate, Luke Doucet (better known to many of us as Sarah McLachlan's erstwhile guitar player :) will be there as well with his band Veal, at 11 pm. This may be America's one and only chance to see Christine Fellows perform for the foreseeable future, so if anyone can get there, I'd highly recommend it. Alas I haven't had the opportunity to see her play live yet, but I hear she's amazing.

Pravatiner" Subject: The big if I just found a half-finished post that I thought my mail system had eaten. I post it now because I think the issues it raises are still worth thinking about. Some time ago, Sarah commented in connection with our thread on Happy's career that if mass popularity, and the economic security it brings, can be had "without capitulating vision, so much the better." That, it seems to me, is a big if, especially given the way that the music industry tends to work nowadays. One would hope that artists will not be forced into this sort of double bind.
